Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 123 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the laws relating to economic development.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its contents and inserting language to amend the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as amended, to establish a Native Hawaiian corporation under the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to manage "available lands" under the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, "ceded lands" under the Admissions Act, and other lands to which Native Hawaiians and Hawaiians may be entitled, to be referred to collectively as "Native Hawaiian lands".

 

     Prior to amending this measure, a proposed S.D. 1 was prepared and made available for public review.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 123, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to the Committee on Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing, in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 123, S.D. 1, for further consideration.

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development, Government Operations and Housing,
